Abstract
We aimed to discuss the weight loss success of the revision of RYGB to sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Between January 2019 and June 2020, four patients' files were analyzed retrospectively. Post-RYGB mean minimal BMI was 27.4 +/- 9.47 kg/m2, be-fore SG the mean BMI was 43.41 +/- 4.16 kg/m2. Post-operative gastric fistula developed in two patients. The mean follow-up time after revision surgery was 17.25 +/- 6.89 months, mean excess weight loss (EWL) was 74.77 +/- 8.94%, and mean BMI was 32.65 +/- 2.9 kg/m2. Despite high rate of major complications, revision of RYGB to SG is successful in weight loss and resolving certain complications of RYGB.
